ETQS includes a team-driven, collaborative approach, predetermined timelines, built-in quality controls, and concurrent research processes. This paper evaluates the effectiveness of the ETQS Model to overcome common research obstacles and promote research success factors. Using the process evaluation method, the authors use the research and writing of this article to assess the ETQS Model. Team member reflec- tions of the process are analyzed and ETQS strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) are evaluated and ameliorated. ETQS, in this case study, is effective in fostering scholarly productivity, pro- moting success factors, and overcoming obstacles. Utilization of this model could strengthen other collab- orative research efforts.

  • Potent Marijuana Edibles Can Pose a Major Unrecognized Risk to Patients with Cardiovascular Disease
    NEWS RELEASE UNDER EMBARGO UNTIL FEBRUARY 11, 2019, 12:01 AM ET Media contact: Eileen Leahy Elsevier +1 732 238 3628 [email protected] Potent marijuana edibles can pose a major unrecognized risk to patients with cardiovascular disease With widespread legalization and increasing use, more care, education, and research are needed about how each formulation of marijuana may affect and sometimes compromise the cardiovascular system of our aging population, according to the Canadian Journal of Cardiology Philadelphia, February 11, 2019 – As marijuana legalization sweeps North America, use of the substance has been on the rise, and the public’s attitude is shifting. An increasing number of people believe that “weed” is the safest recreational drug, one that carries health benefits that outweigh its risks. Those assumptions are challenged in an article and editorial published in the Canadian Journal of Cardiology that examine the story of a patient who developed crushing chest pain and myocardial ischemia after consuming most of a marijuana lollipop. “Marijuana can be a useful tool for many patients, especially for pain and nausea relief. At the same time, like all other medications, it does carry risk and side effects. In a recent case, inappropriate dosing and oral consumption of marijuana by an older patient with stable cardiovascular disease resulted in distress that caused a cardiac event and subsequent reduced cardiac function,” said Alexandra Saunders, MD, Dalhousie University, Internal Medicine Program and Horizon Health Network’s Department of Cardiology, Saint John, NB, Canada. The case report describes a 70-year-old man with stable coronary artery disease, taking the appropriate cardiac medications, who ate most of a lollipop that was infused with 90 mg of THC (delta-9- tetrahydrocannabinol) to relieve pain and aid sleep, which caused him to have a potentially-serious heart attack.

    A SHORT HISTORY OF ELSEVIER In Celebration of the 125th Anniversary of Elsevier and the 425th Anniversary of the House of Elzevir Scientists and healthcare professionals are more inclined to look forward than back, which perhaps explains why there are so few written accounts of Elsevier, in spite of the publishing company’s long and successful history. hereas historians have recorded science Press, to name but a few of the companies that Wand medicine’s key moments of are now part of the Elsevier family, bringing with progress — from Galileo’s celestial revelations them long and rich histories of their own.
